Perhaps (if possible if course) that an alert is thrown up when making active a schedule, if the gate limits are going to be exceeded when the aircraft lands, or indeed if there are any gates leased at all at the airports on the routing.
For the gate management page, agree the quick button to lease a gate would be welcome.
Im not sure how it works in the real life but do airlines have gates for each aircraft? Or do they park a load of planes off stand overnight and just bring them to the gate half hour before the flight?
Cone to think of it, are gates owned by airlines, or is it more slots that are owned or leased?. It could bring a new dimension to scheduling if there are slot constraints and movements per hour restrictions. especially at crowded airports. The more lucrative slots would naturally cost more. At present the entire fleet can take off at the exact same time.
I am probably veering away from UI suggestions here though so il stop now. Keep up the good work.
